Official title: Does Interactive Group Drumming (IGD) Improve the Hospital Experience of Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant? - A Pilot Study

The purpose of this research is to determine if it is possible to perform group drumming as an intervention during HCT, to begin to understand how interactive group drumming during HCT treatment affects patients' well-being (good and bad) during the treatment course and in the first four weeks after completion of the drumming sessions.

Receives: Behavioral: interactive group drumming sessions

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of participation

    Defined as the number of subjects willing to participate in the interactive group drumming (IGD) divided by the number approached and asked to participate. These rates will be reported, along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 1 week after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)

  2. Rate of completion

    Defined as the ratio of (the number of individuals who successfully complete the study [4 sessions of IGD (about 20 minutes [min.] each)], with two pre-and post- surveys [8 minutes total, and two questionnaires (10 minutes total) about 160 minutes total time]) relative to the number of individuals who consent to the study (the number from the numerator of the first ratio [participation]). These rates will be reported, along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 1 week after HCT

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Gather patient-reported data to suggest how participants respond to interactive group drumming (IGD)

    Will be assessed by STADID Short Form Y-1. The after-IGD session measure will include a patient satisfaction item as well. The mean and standard deviation for each of these measures will be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline up to 4 weeks after completion of IGD

  2. Determine optimum length of session

    Will be assessed by comparing actual length of session reported on facilitator post-session observation forms with participant satisfaction as reported in post-session. The mean and standard deviation for each of these measures will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after completion of IGD

  3. Gather patient-reported information to study whether the effect of interactive group drumming (IGD) on targeted variables is more pronounced in successive sessions

    Targeted variables defined as anxiety, energy mood, distress, relaxation, pain, and patient satisfaction. Will compare for each participant. The mean and standard deviation for each of these measures will be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline up to 4 weeks after completion of IGD

  4. Effect of support care provider (SCP) presence for each participant and among participants

    Will use a non-parametric test to compare difference in item scores with and without SCP presence.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after completion of IGD

  5. Change in physiological response to interactive group drumming (IGD)

    Will be calculated at three time points during the session; repeated measures analysis of variance will be used to detect changes over the 3 readings.

    Measured: Baseline up to 1 week after HCT

  6. Gather patient-reported information to suggest the optimal number of interactive group drumming (IGD) sessions

    Will be assessed by STADID Short Form Y-1. The after-IGD session measure will include a patient satisfaction item as well. The mean and standard deviation for each of these measures will be calculated

    Measured: Baseline up to 4 weeks after completion of IGD

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing interactive group drumming sessions in people with Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of participation (time frame: Up to 1 week after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2020.
